THE NEW LAW ABOUT BURIALS.

Editor of Ne,os: :-
 Will you allow me space in your columns to make statement in regard to . matter which may be of interest to the citizens of this town, and which may save some of them some trouble and annoyance when they can least bear it, namely, under some affective bereavement.
 The last legislature, at the instance of the state board of health, presume, passed another act in regard to vital statistics, so-called, the main object of which would seem to be to make buri- els of tho dead as difficult and annoy ing as possible.
 It provides that "No deceased per son shall be buried in any town nntil 8 burial permit, stating the place of burial and that certificate of death required by law has been returned and recorded-hss been given by the regis trr-under 8 penalty of not less than ten nor more than twenty-five dollars"
 This certificate of death must be ob- tained, upon application, 1st from the attending physician, or 2d from the medical examiner, in cases of which he has cognizance, or 3d, in case no physi- clan attended such deceased person, or in case of the inability of the attending physician, by reason of sickness, death or absence, to make out said certificate, the nearest of kin shall procure such certificate f1om some other reputable physician or member of the board of health in the town in which such per son died.
 The certificate shall state 1st, the full name of the deceased, 2d, the place and date of death 3d, the age, sex, color and condition, (single, married divorced or widowed, and if 8 wife or widow, of whom), 4th, the occupation, birthplace and residence, If in 8 tene- ment house, with how many families), 9th, the name of the father 9th, the cause or causes of death 7th, the dura- ton of the disease Sth, the name and address of the medical attendant.
 The act provides that the registrar may appoint not more than two sub registrars, subject to the approval of the selectmen, such sub-registrars to be appointed with reference to locality.
 For the convenience of the citizens of the town I have made, with the appro- val of the selectmen, the following ap- condiments, to wit With reference to East Canaan cemetery, N. s. Stevens. With reference to Canaan Valley ceme- tery, G. E. DeHart. These sub-regis trars can issue burial permits the same as the registrar, on presentation of the certificate of death.
 With reference to the "lower ceme tery" (so-called) near Canaan depot these permits can be obtained at any time upon presentation of the certificate of death at the post-office, during office hours J. B. HARDENBKRGH,

 The dry-geods house of Messrs W. B. Hall & Co.,, Bridgeport, is crowded daily by housekeepers and economists, who seem to appreciate the large assort- ment of useful goods placed before them. The Bridgeport Farmer thus speaks of the firm:
 A stroll along the aisles of the store of w. B. Hall X Go. now enables the visitor to realize the possibilities to be reached by shoppers who seek elegant goods which are positively new through out. It can be said truthfully that not an old fibre remains in the establish ment-all are fresh and new. There are lines of dress silks, all colors and tex lures, from all the great manufacturers abroad and at home and they are offer ed at prices per yard which amaze even those familiar with the ruling figures in the wholesale markets. There are dress goods in all the novel forms of color and make sought for at this season. All the newest makes of kid gloves, per fectly marvellous display of summer parasols, and in ready made suits, and all outer garments for ladies summer wear. This house presents 8 supply vastly greater than that of any previous season.

 Naughty head low, Under that fleecy tent,

 Groweth more fair, Till dries the amber dew Out from her hair, High rides the thirsty sun, Fiercely and high Faint little Dandelion
 Closeth her eye! Pale little Dandelion,
 In her white shroud, Heareth the angel breeze Call from the cloud. Tiny plumes fluttering,
 Make no delay Little winged Dandelion Soareth away
